SAMUEL MARKHAM BRYDGES, OF NELSON, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA.

COLLAR-BUTTON AND SLEEVE-LINK.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL MARKHAM BRYDGES, a subject of the King of England, residing at Nelson, in the Province of British Columbia, Canada, have inuseful Improvements in C01- lar-Buttons and Sleeve-Links, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to collar buttons and the object of the invention is to produce a button which will be strong and durable and one which will offer the minimum amount of resistance when passing through the button hole.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which,

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the button ready to be inserted in the button hole; Fig. 2 is an edge view of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of Fig. 1; Fig. 4 is a plan of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the head turned down to hold the button in the button hole; Fig. 6 is a plan of Fig. 5 Fig. 7 is an edge View thereof; Fig. 8 is a side elevation.

In this drawing 1 is the base to which is suitably secured the shank 2 having a top U shaped recess 2 3 is the head of the button which is of approximately oval shape and the end portions fit loosely within the recess.

4 is a pin passing through the portions of the shank on each side of the recess and through the center of the Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed February 13. 1906.

head 3 whereby said head has a turning movement about said pin.

A small projection 5 is located at the bottom of the recess which is adapted to engage with lugs 6 formed on each end of the head 3 to act as a stop for the head when it reaches a position where it is in alinement with the shank. As shown by the drawings the lugs 6 are formed by cutting away a part of the head at one side thereof at each end.

It will be seen from the above that when the head is turned upright there are no projections serving to obstruct the passage of the head and shank through the button hole and after the head is turned there is no danger of the button dropping out as the cloth will prevent the head irom turning.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

A collar button comprising a head, a shank secured thereto and having a recess said ends of the head at one side in which in the. shank engages
